Elusive.

No need to fret about Ronald Jones. He may not be the biggest guy but that doesn’t mean he is easy to bring down. (more…)

New toy. New option.

When is the last time a Bucs running back had a lot of juice to get outside and then explode for a big play.

Maybe even take it to the house. Gasp!!

(more…)

The next MJD?

Generally, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter doesn’t like to compare players. (more…)

“Seriously Rex, I might just let a cornerback breathe on a receiver at the line this year. No, really.”

How bad was it getting for Bucs fans? (more…)

On Friday, Vita Vea made his first trip to Tampa and One Buc Palace as a member of the Bucs (unofficially, that is).

Vea also made his first appearance in front of the Tampa Bay pen and mic club for his introductory press conference. You can watch the full video below courtesy of Buccaneers.com.

Man, cornerback Vernon Hargreaves’ stock is sinking faster than Joe’s pants without a belt.

And both of those sights are ugly. (more…)

Is another fourth-round linebacker gem lurking?

The Bucs have been dealing since the draft began Thursday night.

It’s been a flurry of activity that led to five picks through the first three rounds. (more…)

Joe knows one guy that likes this pick.

When it was announced the Bucs selected guard Alex Cappa from Division-II Humboldt State, NFL draft guru Mike Mayock of NFL Network howled in glee how violent Cappa is.

Watch for yourself.

Change coming to practice

Dirk Koetter has been accused of running feathery soft training camps. (more…)

“Violent.”

Bucs fans, you got your offensive lineman.

Lift a glass in celebration.

The Bucs stepped back into the Division-II ranks to draft Alexa Cappa from Humbolt State.

And Mike Mayock is hollering in the background how violent he is.

Joe has to confess he knows nothing of Cappa other than he has a worse mullet than Riley Bullough.

Jason Licht is on the move again! (more…)

At 6-4, 347 pounds Vita Vea is a big man and hopefully will be a massive and mean force on the Bucs’ defensive line for years to come.

But he wasn’t playing nasty with Annie Sabo of WFLA-TV last night in Dallas. Vea joined the local sports reporter for an extended chat. Enjoy!

One Hour flash poll posted at 10:13 p.m.

Have at it, Bucs fans.

Three Bucs picks in Round 2 and, oh man, will there be options for maneuvering.

Bang it here all night. Play nice!

A lot of Bucs fans value height above all else when it comes to corners. (more…)

“Yes, you can catch it.”

There’s more to playing cornerback than intercepting passes.

Thankfully, that’s so, because the Bucs’ new pair of second-round cornerbacks seem to be allergic to squeezing footballs.  (more…)

The SEC is known for physical football, especially on the defensive side of the line. So the Bucs went out and got Carlton Davis from Auburn to play corner. (more…)

Former NFL defensive back Mike Mayock, now the NFL Network draft guru, says the Bucs’ new cornerback has the look and the length but not necessarily the cover skills. (more…)

This sure smells like a boom or bust pick. (more…)

“Now you see the plan, Glazer. You like that?”

Joe wrote yesterday that now was the time for general manager Jason Licht to attack the Buccaneers’ deepest needs after securing half-man, half-beast Vita Vea in Round 1 after trading down with the Bills. (more…)

For all the Bucs fans who were clamoring for the team to draft a corner for the Bucs defensive coaches to ruin, might as well get a guy who has a rap sheet..

The Bucs selected M.J, Stewart of North Carolina. He is also projected as a safety. Joe hope the Bucs have more success than the last corner they drafted from the state of North Carolina.
